What is to give light must endure burning.

As the struggle for survival has subsided, the question has emerged: survival for what? Ever more people have the means to live, but no meaning to live for.

Most men in a concentration camp believed that the real opportunities of life had passed. Yet, in reality, there was an opportunity and a challenge. One could make a victory of those experiences, turning life into an inner triumph, or one could ignore the challenge and simply vegetate, as did a majority of the prisoners.

A life of short duration...could be so rich in joy and love that it could contain more meaning than a life lasting eighty years.

Our main motivation for living is our will to find meaning in life.

It said to me, 'I am here — I am here — I am life, eternal life.'

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.
